The Gender and Equality project is a transfer of Vision 2000. The key aims and objectives have been the update, dissemination and valorization of training modules for HR managers/ entrepreneurs/quality auditors targeted at gender equality and its impact on company quality management.

The project has evaluated the gender differences concerning culture and company management processes and suggested how they could be turned into an advantage to both enterprises and women and men working in them. Furthermore, the project has raised awareness among companies on the importance of gender management for the business. Another key issue of the project has been to provide know-how and to support the adoption of methodologies and tools where quality of processes, procedures, HR management and gender equality are a part of a complete strategic system.
